Clone scout troopers were equipped with highly advanced plastoid armor, though they wore mainly a body glove on the neck, upper leg, and lower arms. They also had wider visor plates that allowed a larger visual area. They usually were armed with either DC-15A blaster rifles or DC-15Ss, though on occasion they would also use the DC-15x sniper rifle. The armor would be camouflaged to blend into the surroundings on forest and swamp worlds. They would be assigned two vehicles: BARC speeders for mounted reconnaissance duty and AT-APs for attacking and defending. Using BARC speeders could make them look very similar to BARC troopers, some of which also wore a form of clone scout armor.

The game Star Wars: Battlefront II uses a variation of the clone scout trooper as a sniper unit on the planets Kashyyyk and Felucia. The variant scout trooper armor is also available in Capture the Flag mode when fighting for the Republic on Mustafar.
